Cycle coaching – it helps!
Chris Jackson is relatively new to cycling, but in 2016 he set himself a huge goal – to enter the world of Ultra Endurance cycling and specifically the Trans Atlantic Way Race (#TAWR). In a just a few short weeks he’ll tackle his second TAWR. Chris has set up his own website and regularly blogs – here are a few extracts from ‘Cycle coaching – it helps!’
Just beca
use you or I are “lowly” amateurs of varying ages, ambition, experience and levels of ability doesn’t mean we don’t deserve or won’t benefit from coaching. If you’re planning to complete an endurance race such as the TAWR then make no mistake you are, or swiftly need, to become an “athlete”.
“Having a coach setting my training plans, analysing my performance numbers and offering feedback has really helped with my focus, commitment, sense of direction and confidence. I always know he’s watching. If I skip a training ride, I’ll have to explain and it’s not often that I do.”
“Training Peaks introduced me to Martin Burrows from KOM Coaching. Martin has 20 or so years of coaching experience, is highly qualified and a pleasure to work with. He recognises that coaching is an art and that every athlete is unique with differing strengths, weaknesses and goals. He focuses flexibly on what you need at any given time rather than any hard and fast preconceived agenda of his own.”
